Lyrics

It’s always sadder if it rains on a Saturday
You’ve been waiting the whole week long
When we were young, there was no difference
Whether it rained or it stayed dry
Always just wanted to play outside

Before the days of endless distraction
Before everyone had their own phone
Before the online life and opinions of strangers
Before we were old enough to decide
We just wanted to play outside

We didn’t need a lot
Some friends and space to roam
Don’t go too far, staying close to home
We’d play along just for the ride
So long as we could play outside

On a Saturday, don’t matter if it’s raining
Just want to play outside, on a saturday

I love this. It is such a great song, just a great idea. Makes me really nostalgic. The recording came out great, vocals and guitar so clear and they go together so well. One of my favorites here, I think, this overall idea is just so relatable for me, hits close to home.
